The text states that Silviano Santiago’s Uma literatura nos trópicos, published in 1978, challenges Brazilian society and culture to rethink themselves, a difficult task in that dark conjuncture. It focuses on the first chapter of the book, “O lugar do discurso latino-americano”, to show that the author’s proposal boldly poses and addresses the challenge of revising Brazilian society. Questioning the established norm of the routine behavior, the “space in-Between” category allows us to abandon the idea of unity, purity and cultural homogeneity. Thus, it is mandatory to reflect on otherness and heterogeneity, concepts that renew contemporary thinking. I illustrate this issue considering social sciences, especially in sociology. The concept of “space in-Between” has become a fundamental instrument for understanding the place of Brazilian Sociology in the cosmopolitan setting of the Social Sciences.
